Liv Strand is a visual artist immersed in the practice of reshaping. Reshaping as to reflect definitions by translating them into form. Information is transposed materially, or from one field of art to another, to propose gaps and cracks between disciplines and material as a space for ongoing negotiations. How can art carve a woodiness out to become table.
Liv Strand is a Swedish artist living in Stockholm. She works at EMS and is a member of Fylkingen. Video work is available through the distributor Filmform.
